Synopsis

From the bestselling author of The Return of the Prodigal Son, essential listening for Christians, Catholics, and all spiritual seekers.

In a world where our minds are distracted by constant stimuli, it’s easy to lose our connection to God. Henri Nouwen was known for his keen ability to find spiritual clarity amid the chatter, a gift he shared throughout his life in his roles as a Catholic priest, counselor, teacher, and author.

Although Nouwen achieved great fame for his popular books, many of his teachings on spiritual discernment were never recorded. Today, Nouwen fans like you can enjoy this spiritually edifying compendium of works on this topic published posthumously.

Available as an audiobook for the first time ever, Discernment: Reading the Signs of Daily Life invites you to adopt Nouwen as your personal spiritual guide.

Each session was carefully prepared by Dr. Michael Christensen, an award-winning professor of Christian ministry and practice, and Dr. Rebecca Laird, who was Nouwen’s student at Yale Divinity School. Like other volumes in The Nouwen Trilogy, this audiobook collects Nouwen’s unpublished homilies, interviews, classes, and speeches, as well as excerpts from his published writings. Editing these works into a cohesive and definitive guide to the Christian life, Drs. Christensen and Laird memorialize his popular teachings.

By listening to Nouwen’s teachings on discernment, you’ll learn that God’s presence is all around you, if you only know where to look.

This course is part of the Learn25 Collection.

I am a Christian from a non-denominational, Pentecostal, and evangelical background. This book is amazing. There is so much good stuff about hearing and discerning the voice of God in this book!

Goodreads review by Naomi on August 15, 2013

The third of a posthumously published trilogy planned by Nouwen, the publishers recommend _Discernment_ for an Advent or Lenten study. After reading it, I agree, they would be fine for those times, but even more important in Ordinary Time. Why? That's when we need to practice discernment the most: e......more

Goodreads review by Purshia on October 23, 2023

This book made me a slower-paced, more contemplative person. Plus it made me more aware of the signs of life that God has used in terms of nature, theological review, and spiritual friendship to shape me to look more like Christ. Nouwen was a man of immense depth and the wells of his wisdom will be......more

Goodreads review by Hannah on April 21, 2023

Read this because I loved one of his other books and wanted to see more of what Nouwen’s writing is like. In some ways, this was also a challenge for me to hear from different voices and people than I normally do. Henri Nouwen was a Dutch Catholic priest; I am … quite the opposite. Aside from the ac......more

Goodreads review by Bailey on January 29, 2024

Overall a good book! While some of the more contemplative concepts seemed a bit far-fetched to practically apply to my life (like spending a year living among the poor), there were overall helpful themes and ideas. It challenged me to see discernment not only as seeking God’s will in the big decisio......more
